Re: The British Warehouse 23
Several curious stone, iron, and bronze artifacts excavated from the island of Anglesey and dating to the first century AD. Attached is a report that one of the excavators went mad and attempted to burn his diggers alive.
Dr. Dee's black stone? The one in the British Museum could be misattributed, though the fact that its an Aztec relic is interesting of itself http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore...es_mirror.aspx

Re: The British Warehouse 23
Not that I don't appreciate the references to some of my favorite characters like Bertie Wooster and Willie Garvin, but isn't "Warehouse X" supposed to deal with weird science and eldritch horror and such? I can think of no reason why something with only historical or sentimental value would be given room in such a repository.
(Yes, I know that one could posit that these items have somehow gained weird and wonderful properties, but then you're adding new content to the original stories.) Hans |

Re: The British Warehouse 23
PC 1: "Hey mate! What's he trying to say?"
PC 2: "Can't tell you, old chap. Can't understand a word of it." PC 3: "Cor! 'E's got all them effs an double ells an such. Must be Welsh." If Bran is still talking, there could be a voice-activated microphone set up, and an archive of wax cylinders, cassette tapes, CD's and flash drives. Not to mention an expert on call who can speak archaic Welsh. The head may have been as important radar during the Battle of Britain in predicting when and where the Luftwaffe were coming from. If it is truly shattered, it is probably not copper - copper's too ductile (of course it was shattered by magic, so you could explain anything that way). On the other hand, having it next to the head might just be a bit of misdirection on the GM's part. It is actually the remains of the cauldron used by three witches during the regicide of king Duncan of Scotland. The PC's think the cauldron (after it is stolen by the bad guy) will bring back an army of the dead, instead it is being used to instigate another regicide - this time against the British crown. In the aftermath, have an expert in Celtic metalworking berate them for their ignorance. Luke |

Strange, steam-powered frame with a large brass disk and a chair. Sign next to it says: Alleged Time Machine. Out of Order.
